Title: Registering As A New Member
Post by: Breaktru on May 19, 2014, 10:08:32 AM
I get dozens of requests for membership each week by users who use INVALID email address'.

When a user registers for membership, a CONFORMATION email is sent that requires the would be member to activate.

1. Check for correctness when entering an email address.
2. Don't use bogus email address'.
3. If you did not receive the CONFORMATION email, Check your SPAM or JUNK folder for the CONFORMATION email.
4. In your Profile "Account Settings" when registering, Do NOT check the box "Allow users to email me". This will prevent spam bot from trolling for email address. This goes for ANY forum that you register on.

This prompted me to check my profile, and I did in fact have an invalid email in there.  I get disposable emails with my paid Yahoo account so I create a unique email for each site I use.  That way if an email gets compromised by a particular site, I can just kill it without having to change my email address across the board.  That does happen sometimes, though interestingly my PayPal email is the worst offender since it's tied to all my eBay transactions.   I think lots of eBayers sell off lists of email addresses they harvest from sales transactions.

Anyway, turns out I used my ECF email to register on this forum.  That's one I killed a long time ago, with prejudice.  The forum told me I needed to re-activate my account after entering a new email, but then it gave me an error saying my account was already activated when I clicked the link in the activation email.  Then I got another email saying it was handled by the admin, so thanks for doing that.  Sounds like there's a little glitch with changing your email on the forum here.

Good idea Craig.

Yes I activated your account manually. I have it set to re-activate an account on email change. There are several members with invalid email address' and I get a bunch of returned email notifications when someone posts to the topic the invalid member is asking for notification in. I then have to remove notifications for said members or sometime I just delete their membership.

Hey everyone, not really new to the site but newly registered.  I have a habit of lurking places for a bit :)

This seemed like ALMOST the most appropriate place to post, so hello!

PS - It may be beneficial to have a new members section so that folks like myself can create a new thread without a 3 post minimum?  It's rather difficult to find a spot to say "hey" in, without derailing an otherwise decent conversation.

I'm sure I'm the minority in thinking this, but it's worth a shot anyway :)


Oh, and what brings me here is the Raptor 20A board.  I've been out of building and repairing electronics devices for quite some time.  Modding has always kinda been in my blood, so I'm going to start building a parts list and a box design (wood) to build in.  I may have a few questions, but most of it looks straight-forward just by the layout of the board. :)

Welcome to the forum cliff.

I learned not to allow NEW topics the hard way. I have eliminated the spammers, scammers and vendors with the 2 posts prior to a new topic. All of which were either from China, Russia, India or Pakistan. Seems that they rarely bother spamming in an existing topic but rather use New topics for some reason.

No worries! :)  Like I said, not a big deal and I'm sure I'm in the minority.  Whatever makes running things easier for the administrative staff is always the best :)

I'll continue to float around and gather whatever knowledge I can with this particular board.  Should get it in the mail Friday or Saturday, then I'll have to put the rest of my parts list together  :thumbsup:

Hey guys, was looking for a place to say hello and introduce myself, but didn't find a completely suited location, so might as well do it here.

I'm a danish guy and have been vaping for about a year, used to be smoking handrolled analogs.

Been vaping on an evic with protanks, aspire bdcs and such in the beginning, but quickly moved forward to rebuildables instead. Been mixing my own juice for some time, and just got started building mods.

Build the first mod using a neos raptor 10A chip about a month ago, and I regret not building one from the start. Now I'm looking at building an improved version of the first build, with a few more features.

Looks like I've finally arrived to the right place in my search for a location with more knowledge of mod building, so I can improve on my ideas and bring them to life :) so far I've been reading around and revising my ideas, but at some point I'll throw em out there for feedback and for all to use ;) (not building for profit, but for the fun of it)

Thanks, hopefully it will all go as planned, waiting for a few more tools before I start, but then again, I keep revising the layout for the electronics.

Hi,
I've been bouncing through this forum for a while now and decided to finally register. I've been vaping a few years now and build PVs, my own coils and just tend to be a perpetual tinkerer. Thought this would be as good a place as any to make a first post.
Loads of cool stuff here, hope I'm able to contribute some as well.

Hello everybody. I am also new here, and wanted to say hello. I am from Norway, and has been a vaper sin April last year.
I have several mods, but I love my DNA 40 devices the most. I have been mixing my own juice for a while now, but nothing advance, just with one single flavor or with two. That would be strawberry from TFA and Bavarian Cream also from TFA, and they are really good, to me anyhow :) I never let anybody taste my DIY juices, just in case I have done something wrong. Although I doubt that I have. The breaktrue calculator is very good. But I cant find out how to upgrade the software so that I can measure with grams instead off milliliters or by drops. It is so much faster to go by gram.  Can anybody point me in the right direction to upgrade my software here. That would have been a huge help for me.
Kind regards from Norway to all my fellow mixers world wide
Norwegianvaper ;cheers;

Hey there norwegianvaper. Nice to have you here on the forum.
I also only do simple recipes with only 1 or 2 flavors. Works for me.

You can upgrade your eJuice me up calculator by installing the new version. It will do an upgrade if you have an older version installed. The link to the download is http://breaktru.com/ejuicemeup.zip

Welcome norwegianvaper.

At present I'm alternating between two ejuices I mixed up. One with 2 flavorings and the other with 3 flavorings.

Had a strange feeling thats why I can't see a new topic button .... I would, and have done the same

 :help:  Many questions on getting around on the forums but I will figure it out as time goes on.  One I do need answer to is:
If I have a question in general do I look for a particular header that might have the answer? or do I just jump on and ask the question outright?
I'll get the hang of it and my forum ignorance will disappear I promise.

Hi DiLynn and welcome.
The questions should be related to the topic heading. Like if it's a steeping question, a new topic can be created in "DIY eJuice" or if there is a related topic already listed in "DIY eJuice" than post there.
Well, that's my 2 cents worth.

Hello all. I'm new to vaping, finally quitting smoking cigarettes. Thank you to my step brother for turning me onto this site. I have read quite a bit about mod boxes and such, I decided to build my own okr-t10 . Literally just finished it tonight. I'm looking forward to going into work not reaking of offensive smoke. I'll be back with pics on another appropriate thread.
